MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.2 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 609 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,776 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,776 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 609 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Los Angeles International Airport, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it rolled down runway 25R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 164 knots, clearing the ground at a distance of 1,909 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 170 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Los Angeles, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,809 feet above sea level in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 182 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged level cruise, which lasted for 184 minutes and covered a distance of 1,569 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from an altitude of 34,002 feet to 38,771 feet, an increase of 4,770 feet in just 9 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted for 421 minutes and covered a distance of 3,166 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, initially from 44,192 feet to 39,999 feet in just 3 minutes, followed by a further descent from 39,999 feet to 1,366 feet in 18 minutes.
The final approach to runway 05R at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was made from the south-west, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was executed at a threshold speed of 140 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast. The aircraft's touchdown rate was fair at -287 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,127 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 78,872 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 723 minutes.
The final approach to runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport from the south west was executed with a heading of 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height observed. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on runway 05R, the touchdown point was located 194 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 135 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the overrun. The touchdown rate of -287 fpm was fair, suggesting a relatively smooth descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase.
The aircraft's rollout was executed smoothly, with very good runway rollout alignment. The total landing distance of 1,697 m was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.2% reflecting the minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and winds of 7 kt at 150°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance.
